The Wiley-Interscience Paperback Series consists of selected books
that have been made more accessible to consumers in an effort to
increase global appeal and general circulation. With these new
unabridged softcover volumes, Wiley hopes to extend the lives of
these works by making them available to future generations of
statisticians, mathematicians, and scientists.

"Books such as this that bring together, clarify, and summarize
recent research can lead to a great increase of interest in the
area. . . . a major achievement in describing many aspects of
spatial data and discussing, with examples, different methods of
analysis."

-Royal Statistical Society

"Dr. Ripley's book is an excellent survey of the spatial
statistical methodology. It is very well illustrated with examples
[that] give a clear view of the wide scope of the subject, the way
in which techniques often have to be tailored to particular
applications, and the different sorts of spatial data that
arise."

-The Bulletin of the London Mathematics Society

Spatial Statistics provides a comprehensive guide to the
analysis of spatial data. Each chapter covers a particular data
format and the associated class of problems, introducing theory,
giving computational suggestions, and providing examples. Methods
are illustrated by computer-drawn figures. The book serves as an
introduction to this rapidly growing research area for
mathematicians and statisticians, and as a reference to new
computer methods for researchers in ecology, geology, archaeology,
and the earth sciences.
